Home Our story
Cornwall’s unique location, fresh perspective and deep roots have seen its food and drink scene thrive over the past 20 years. And through it all, we’ve been here – a connecting thread, strategic lead and critical friend adding value and dialling up impact at every turn.
A place of innovation, creativity and resilience, Cornwall’s gastronomic landscape is about so much more than its rightly-celebrated pasties and clotted cream. It’s why we started Cornwall Food and Drink in 2006 – working closely with the incredible businesses here, to connect, develop and empower everything they do. And why two decades later our work continues, with the same spirit and energy behind it.
Building brands. Reimagining processes. Discovering efficiencies. Unlocking opportunities. Delighting new markets. We’re the evergreen support and strategic linchpin for local businesses – drawing on our 20 years’ passionately driving Cornish food and drink forward – so they stay ahead of the game.
For both new and established local food and drink businesses, we help discover fresh talent, build resilient teams and create rewarding careers. We problem solve and advise to increase efficiencies, become cleaner and greener and find new customers. We use insight and trend awareness to build relevance, deepen brand loyalty and drive innovation. Like our work supporting innovative Tea producers harnessing Cornwall’s unique microclimates, helping forward thinkers bring fairer chocolate to market, or championing the world’s best cheese.
Through advocacy, community development and our extensive networks across the food and drink industry and beyond, we spotlight excellence, bring partners together to innovate, and help Cornish producers capitalise on their profile and potential. Whether it’s our landmark Cornish Food Awards, our thought leadership work or our facilitation and events, through our position, reputation, experience and long history in the sector we ensure the businesses we work with thrive now and for generations to come.
We showcase the best foods coming out of Cornwall through our flagship store in Truro, where customers can discover the amazing quality, variety, flavour and stories that Cornish producers bring to the table, every time.
This is an incredible place, filled with incredible people. We’re here to show the world what Cornwall’s food and drink is truly made of.
